Inuashakent Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 This thread is comparing apples with oranges. This is how it should be compared. There are the bandos armours: top, legs and boots The three dragon armours comparable to it: plate, plateges and dboots. All the other items, eg slayer helm vs dragon full are not part of the equasion. Here is my opinion: barrows armour: great for mid-high level players (80-110) it is great bang for buck and players will find they will be saving more in food if they were wearing eg. rooonnn dragon armour:this is prehistoric junk from rsc. This armour is the domain of the player who does not care about defence bonus, but cares more about looks- however dragon skirts are faily good value. Bandos armour: This amrour is great at 110+, at this stage of runescape you will have probably done some quests/minigames unlocking higher end content.. eg barrows gloves, skill capes, fire capes... with these better items in mind you will find yourself being hit far far less during slayer tasks. i am level 136, this is my current settup: Helm: Slayer Helm- has the defence of a rune large and the 15% atk and str and scroll abilty makes it clear no1 Amulet: Fury- King of the Amulets, I do all my slayer tasks using mele so it is very good Weapon:Whip- Since getting hacked 22 Sept 2008, I do not have the finances for my old SGS. Whip will have to do Shield: Rune Defender- I personally prefer rune defender over DFS as I value killing monesters faster PLatebody: Bandos PLate- Offers high defence bonus, the str bonus is great Legs: Bandos Legs- Same as plate. I only just bought the legs, prior i was wearing dharok legs Boots: Dragon Boots- Far better than bandos boots cause of the str bonus. also bandos boots are very heavy Ring: Slayer Ring- Even though it has no str bonus i have 1 more inventory space, and i cant afford anything better Cape: Fire Cape- atk,str,madssive defence bonus... what else could i want... i like it more than my 14 acheviment capes. *So thats my current slayer gear, after strating from my hacked account late December. (not bad riches if you ask me) Sure if I had 500m+ I would use a SGS or a whip/elysian shield combo. I would probably still stick with the slayer ring other than a beserker/warrior due to conveniance. It's not really comparing apples to oranges, as they are doing the same thing, and that is combat. There really is nowhere that Bandos/Dragon doesn't beat dragon. I mean there is none.
